Studio Hamburg is a large production complex in Wandsbek with modern facilities for film and television production. The site features multiple soundstages, editing suites, and specialized workshops where series and films are made from start to finish.
The studio was founded in 1947 as Real Film and established itself when film production shifted from Berlin to Hamburg after World War II. This shift made Hamburg a key center for German film production during the postwar period.

These shows portray Hamburg and its people in everyday and dramatic situations that audiences across the country recognize.
